[PATCH vhost v8 00/12] virtio core prepares for AF_XDP

[Xuan Zhuo]

## About DMA APIs

Now, virtio may can not work with DMA APIs when virtio features do not have
VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM.

1. I tried to let DMA APIs return phy address by virtio-device. But DMA APIs just
   work with the "real" devices.
2. I tried to let xsk support callballs to get phy address from virtio-net
   driver as the dma address. But the maintainers of xsk may want to use dma-buf
   to replace the DMA APIs. I think that may be a larger effort. We will wait
   too long.

So rethinking this, firstly, we can support premapped-dma only for devices with
VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM. In the case of af-xdp, if the users want to use it,
they have to update the device to support VIRTIO_F_RING_RESET, and they can also
enable the device's VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM feature.

Thanks for the help from Christoph.

=================

XDP socket(AF_XDP) is an excellent bypass kernel network framework. The zero
copy feature of xsk (XDP socket) needs to be supported by the driver. The
performance of zero copy is very good.

ENV: Qemu with vhost.

Before achieving the function of Virtio-Net, we also have to let virtio core
support these features:

1. virtio core support premapped
2. virtio core support reset per-queue
3. introduce DMA APIs to virtio core

Please review.

Thanks.

v8:
 1. vring_sg_address: check by sg_page(sg) not dma_address. Because 0 is a valid dma address
 2. remove unused code from vring_map_one_sg()

v7:
 1. virtqueue_dma_dev() return NULL when virtio is without DMA API.

v6:
 1. change the size of the flags to u32.

v5:
 1. fix for error handler
 2. add flags to record internal dma mapping

v4:
 1. rename map_inter to dma_map_internal
 2. fix: Excess function parameter 'vq' description in 'virtqueue_dma_dev'

v3:
 1. add map_inter to struct desc state to reocrd whether virtio core do dma map

v2:
 1. based on sgs[0]->dma_address to judgment is premapped
 2. based on extra.addr to judgment to do unmap for no-indirect desc
 3. based on indir_desc to judgment to do unmap for indirect desc
 4. rename virtqueue_get_dma_dev to virtqueue_dma_dev

v1:
 1. expose dma device. NO introduce the api for dma and sync
 2. split some commit for review.

[PATCH vhost v8 01/12] virtio_ring: split: separate dma codes

[Xuan Zhuo]

DMA-related logic is separated from the virtqueue_add_split() to
one new function. DMA address will be saved as sg->dma_address if
use_dma_api is true, then virtqueue_add_split() will use it directly.
Unmap operation will be simpler.

The purpose of this is to facilitate subsequent support to receive
dma address mapped by drivers.

NOTE: We set sg_page to null after dma mapping is done. Then only one of
sg page and dma_address is valid. Then we can use sg_page to judge which
one to use. We cannot check dma_address. Since dma_address is
initialized to 0, that is a valid dma address.

[PATCH vhost v8 04/12] virtio_ring: split: support premapped

[Xuan Zhuo]

virtio core only supports virtual addresses, dma is completed in virtio
core.

In some scenarios (such as the AF_XDP), the memory is allocated
and DMA mapping is completed in advance, so it is necessary for us to
support passing the DMA address to virtio core.

Drives can use sg->dma_address to pass the mapped dma address to virtio
core. If one sg->dma_address is used then all sgs must use
sg->dma_address, otherwise all must be null when passing it to the APIs
of virtio.

[PATCH vhost v8 05/12] virtio_ring: packed: support premapped

[Xuan Zhuo]

virtio core only supports virtual addresses, dma is completed in virtio
core.

In some scenarios (such as the AF_XDP), the memory is allocated
and DMA mapping is completed in advance, so it is necessary for us to
support passing the DMA address to virtio core.

Drives can use sg->dma_address to pass the mapped dma address to virtio
core. If one sg->dma_address is used then all sgs must use
sg->dma_address, otherwise all must be null when passing it to the APIs
of virtio.

[PATCH vhost v8 07/12] virtio_ring: remove unused code

[Xuan Zhuo]

Now, vring_map_one_sg() is only called by virtqueue_map_sgs().
And !use_dma_api is check before vring_map_one_sg(), so we not need to
check !use_dma_api inside vring_map_one_sg().

Re: [PATCH vhost v8 01/12] virtio_ring: split: separate dma codes

[Christoph Hellwig]

As said before, please don't try to do weird runtime checks based
on the scatterlist.  What you have works for now, but there are
plans to repalce the page + offset tuple in the scatterlist with
just a phys_addr_t.  And with that your "clever" scheme will break
instantly.

Xuan, I think we probably need to go back to your original method that
is having a dedicated flag and helper for pre mapped buffers.

Thanks

Sorry, I missed this email for some reason. Thanks for Jason's reply.

Although, I think that the interface sg_page() should not have any problems.
If we use phys_addr_t replace the page + offset, this interface sg_page() should
be update or replace. But i will follow your advice.

I have another question. I done some modification on scatterlist
(inside virtqueue_map_sgs()) in the patch using dma_address to save the dma
address got by virtio core. I want to know if this behavior is suitable.

Thanks.
